The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in partnership with the Malheur Soil and Water Conservation District, and the Owyhee Irrigation District, helped farmers in the Fletcher Gulch watershed convert from open-ditch, flood/furrow irrigation to closed-piped systems and on-farm center pivots. These irrigation upgrades resulted in significant improvements in water quality, supported by years of monitoring data. Other benefits include reduced labor and energy costs for farmers, and increased water quantity available during periods of prolonged drought. This project took nearly 20 years to plan and implement, and had funding support from the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board and the Oregon Department of Agriculture. The Fletcher Gulch Water Quality project would not have been possible without the dedicated support from local farmers like Mike and Charlie Barlow, and their neighbors. The resulting water quality improvements have made a lasting impact to sustain local agriculture while conserving precious natural resources.

Review LG LED IPS Monitor 23MP65HQ (LG 23EA63V replaced) An Phat PC by dtien87 ductien daoductien - www.anphatpc.com.vn
dpreviews monitor test target. One should be able to differentiate between blocks A, B and C as well as between blocks X, Y and Z. If you can't there is little point in trying to judge the exposure of images as you are not perceiving the full image.
TO VIEW sit back from your monitor 2 feet and place your index finger about 10 inches in front of your eyes and focus on your finger. This will cause your eyes to go comfortably cross eyed. Keep that same cross eyed focus and notice there are now 3 photos in the back ground. Do not let your eyes leave the cross eye as you look at the middle picture which has appeared. Now increase or decrease how much your eyes are cross eyed until the image pops into 3D. Your eyes will want to leave the cross eye, but fight that urge. This is an acquired skill and takes practice. Stop if it's uncomfortable.
Pic of this Yellow monitor (Varanus flavescens) taken in a large lake at Kolkata, India.
It was swimming in water coming towards the bank, when i took this shot. On reaching the bank, it vanished among the water hyacinth and so cudnt take more pics.
Cheers!

Qutub Minar, at 74 meters, is the tallest brick minaret in the world, and the second tallest minar in India after Fateh Burj at Mohali. Qutub Minar, along with the ancient and medieval monuments surrounding it, form the Qutb Complex, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The tower is located in the Mehrauli area of Delhi, India. Made of red sandstone and marble, Qutub Minar is a 73 meter tall tapering tower with a diameter measuring 14.32 meters at the base and 2.75 meters at the peak. Inside the tower, a circular staircase with 379 steps leads to the top. Qutub Minar station is the closest station on the Delhi Metro.
In 1200 CE, Qutub-ud-Din Aibak, the founder of the Delhi Sultanate started construction of the Qutub Minar. In 1220, Aibak's successor and son-in-law Iltutmish added three storeys to the tower. In 1369, lightning struck the top storey, destroying it completely and Firoz Shah Tughlaq carried out restoration work replacing the damaged storey with two new storeys, made of red sandstone and white marble.
Qutub Minar is surrounded by several historically significant monuments, which are historically connected with the tower and are part of the Qutb Complex. These include the Iron Pillar of Delhi, Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque, Alai Darwaza, the Tomb of Iltutmish, Alai Minar, Ala-ud-din's Madrasa and Tomb, and the Tomb of Imam Zamin. Other minor monuments include Major Smith's Cupola and Sanderson's Sundial.
HISTORY
The construction of Qutub Minar was commissioned by Qutub-ud-Din Aibak, the founder of the Delhi Sultanate in 1199 AD. The minar was built on the ruins of the Lal Kot, the Red Citadel in the city of Dhillika. Aibak's successor Iltutmish added three more storeys to complete the tower.
It has not been established with certainty whether Qutub Minar has been named after Qutbu l-Din Aibak, the emperor who commissioned its construction or Qutbuddin Bakhtiar kaki, the famous Sufi saint.
The culture of tower architecture was established in India before the arrival of the Turks. However, there is no evidence on record to confirm that the Qutb Minar was inspired or influenced by earlier Rajput towers. Numerous inscriptions in Parso-Arabic and Nagari characters in different sections of the Qutb Minar reveal the history of its construction. According to the inscriptions on its surface it was repaired by Firoz Shah Tughlaq (1351–89) and Sikandar Lodi (1489–1517).
The Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque, located to the north of Qutb Minar, was built by Qutbu l-Din Aibak in 1192. It is one of the earliest surviving mosque in the Indian subcontinent. Later, an arched screen was erected and the mosque was enlarged by Iltutmish (1210–35) and Ala-ud-din Khilji.
The topmost storey was damaged by lightning in 1368 A.D. and was rebuilt by Firoz Shah Tughlaq. Firoz Shah Tughlaq built two floors one of which can be distinguished easily as it was built of white marble. In 1505, an earthquake damaged Qutb Minar and the damage was repaired by Sikandar Lodi. On 1 August 1803, a major earthquake again caused serious damage to Qutb Minar. Major Robert Smith of the British Indian Army renovated the tower in 1828 and installed a cupola to the top of Qutb Minar. The cupola was later taken down under instructions from Lord Hardinge, then Governor General of India and was installed to the east of Qutb Minar, where it rests now.
ARCHITECTURE
The Minar is made of red sandstone covered with intricate carvings and verses from the Qur'an. The Minar comprises several superposed flanged and cylindrical shafts, separated be balconies carried on Muqarnas corbels. The first three storeys are made of red sandstone; the fourth and fifth storeys are of marble and sandstone. At the foot of the tower is the Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque. The minar tilts just over 60 cm from the vertical, which is considered to be within safe limits, although experts have stated that monitoring is needed in case rainwater seepage further weakens the foundation.
The nearby 7 meters high Iron Pillar from Gupta empire is a metallurgical curiosity. The pillar standing in the Qutb complex has Brahmic inscriptions on it and predates the Islamic minar.
ACCIDENT
Before 1974, the general public was allowed access to the top of the minar accessed through a narrow staircase. On 4 December 1981, 45 people were killed in the stampede that followed an electricity failure that plunged the tower's staircase into darkness. Most of the victims were children because, at the time school children were allowed free access to historical monuments on Fridays. Subsequently, public access to the inside of the tower has been banned.
IN POPULARE CULTURE
Bollywood actor and director Dev Anand wanted to shoot the song Dil Ka Bhanwar Kare Pukar from his movie Tere Ghar Ke Samne inside the minar. However, the cameras in that era were too big to fit inside the tower's narrow passage, and the song was shot inside a replica of the tower instead. The site served as the pitstop of the second leg of the second season of The Amazing Race Australia, the Australian version of the Emmy-winning series The Amazing Race. This is the first Indian monument to have an E-ticket facility.
A picture of the minaret is featured on the Travel Cards issued by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation. A recently launched start-up in collaboration with Archaeological survey of India has made a 360 degree walkthrough of Qutub minar available.

Cracks and fractures come with the territory when it comes to steel structures and the 1950s Tacoma Narrows Bridge is no exception. A dedicated crew that serves the bridge has been monitoring this fracture for a long time. Thursday, Sept. 2, 2010, crews determined too much change occurred in relation to the crack and closed two lanes at noon to get it fixed.
This is the library card catologue I've repurposed into a monitor stand. Because we don't keep anything important or that we might be looking for in the drawers, they have been labeled "HERE" and "THERE" as in "neither here nor there."
I wrote up a blog post for Voltaic
Systems DIY page. This post contains the parts, schematic, and
software to start monitoring small solar panels wirelessly. I really
like that this basic infrastructure can be used in pretty much any
project. I suspect that many of my future projects will be making use
of xbee, python, and pachube to capture and share data on-line. I'm
tempted to build a custom circuit which can log my 2kW PV system.
Really tempted.

On the eastern side of Sicily, August 15th, the day on which the Catholic Church celebrates the moment in which the Blessed Virgin Mary is welcomed into Heaven (the dogma of faith asserts that Mary at the end of her earthly life went to Heaven in soul and body), thus realizing the Feast of the Assumption, there are mainly two traditional festivals that more than others deserve to be known: the "living float" of Randazzo and the float of Messina. On August 15th of last year 2022 for the first time I photographed the "Messina float" celebration, that are the photographs that I propose here. The float of Messina is a large votive chariot dedicated, in fact, to the Madonna Assunta (the patronal feast of Messina instead is for the Madonna della Lettera, in June), the float is 14 meters high, weighs about 8 tons, it has a shape pyramidal, in the lowest part there is a shrine where there is the very sweet, tender statue of the Sleeping Virgin Mary, a shrine which before departure is placed on the ground in front of the float (it will be hoisted onto the float shortly before departure), thus giving way to the devotees to greet her; on the float around the reliquary there are the statues of the apostles, higher up there are progressively placed the little angels, who revolve, according to a Ptolemaic conception of the universe, together with the sun and the moon, with the earth at the center (inside the float there are mechanisms operated by hand, which allow rotation on both the vertical and horizontal axis of its various components), let us not forget that the float has ancient origins, initially the Triumphal Chariot was built in 1535 to honor the passage of the Emperor Charles V, the chariot was subsequently adapted for the Feast of the Assumption (initially it was a "living float" where children took their places similar to the Randazzo float, however in 1681 the float broke, 6 children fell to the ground between the crowd remaining unharmed, another similar episode occurred in 1738 when four children fell to the ground, so in 1866 it was decided to replace the children with statues); at the top of the float there is the statue of Christ who holds and offers with his right hand "the Alma Mater" (sometimes referred to as "Alma Maria") ("the Alma Mater" is subject to different interpretations, according to some it means "Nurturing Mother" referring to the Son, for others it means "Virgin", according to others "hidden and secret Mother") to the Empyrean (for Dante, the Italian Poet, the Empyrean was the tenth heaven that enclosed the whole universe, it was the seat of God, beyond which nothing existed, almost coinciding with Einstein's theory according to which the universe has a finite volume but has no limits). The float, pulled by many devotees using two large hawsers, initially walked on wheels, these were subsequently replaced by two large skates, initially in wood, then in steel, so the float proceeds by dragging, and this is why the tankers precede the procession continuously wetting the asphalt, to allow it to slide.
I photographed the shrine with the small and sweet statue of the "Sleeping Virgin Mary" inside: in 1950 Pope Pius XII proclaimed the dogma according to which «The Virgin Mary, having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed to celestial glory in body and soul », this dogma does not specify whether Mary's Assumption was preceded by a deep sleep or natural death (the term “Dormitio Virginis” is ambivalent, it can refer to both sleep and natural death). I photographed "the two mayors" of Messina, the current mayor of Taormina, Cateno De Luca leader of the autonomist and southernist political party "South calls North" and mayor of Messina from 2018 until 2022 at that time recently replaced by the current mayor of Messina, Federico Basile, upon their arrival in the moments exciting who preceded the “departure” of the float. I have photographed many devotees pushing or pulling the float, for "narrative" reasons I will only publish some of them, I thank them (as I thank all the others that I do not publish).
post scriptum: with the second, third and fourth photos I participated in the first edition of the 2022 photography competition, called "la Vara di Messina", promoted by the cultural association "Messina Sacra", the third photo (with the title "stay with us ") received a special mention.

Sulla fascia orientale della Sicilia, il 15 di Agosto, giorno in cui la Chiesa cattolica celebra il momento in cui la Beata Vergine Maria viene accolta in Cielo (il dogma di fede asserisce che Maria al termine della sua vita terrena andò in Paradiso in anima e corpo), realizzandosi così la Festa dell’Assunzione (o dell’Assunta), sono principalmente due le feste tradizionali che più di altre meritano di essere conosciute: la “vara vivente” di Randazzo e la vara di Messina. Il 15 agosto dello scorso anno 2022 per la prima volta ho fotografato la festa della “vara di Messina”, sono alcune fotografie che qui propongo (a differenza della vara vivente di Randazzo, che per ragioni affettive ho fotografato, impegni lavorativi permettendo, più volte). La vara di Messina è un grande carro votivo dedicato, appunto, alla Madonna Assunta (la festa patronale di Messina invece è per la Madonna della Lettera, a Giugno), la vara è alta 14 metri, pesa circa 8 tonnellate, essa ha una forma piramidale, nella parte più bassa prende posto una teca ove si trova la dolcissima, tenerissima statua della Madonna Dormiente, teca che prima della partenza viene posta a terra sul davanti della vara (verrà issata sulla vara poco prima della partenza), dando così modo ai devoti di salutarla; sulla vara attorno alla teca si trovano le statue degli apostoli, più in alto trovano progressivamente posto gli angioletti, i quali girano, secondo una concezione tolemaica dell’universo, insieme al sole ed alla luna, con la terra al centro (all’interno della vara ci sono dei meccanismi azionati a mano, che consentono la rotazione sull’asse sia verticale che orizzontale dei vari suoi componenti), non dimentichiamo infatti che la vara ha origini antiche, inizialmente il Carro Trionfale fu costruito nel 1535 per onorare il passaggio in Sicilia dell’imperatore Carlo V, successivamente il Carro fu adattato per la Festa dell’Assunta (inizialmente era una “vara vivente” ove prendevano posto i bambini analogamente alla vara di Randazzo, però nel 1681 la vara si ruppe, 6 ragazzini precipitarono a terra tra la folla restando illesi, un altro simile episodio accadde nel 1738 quando precipitarono a terra quattro ragazzini, così nel 1866 si decise di sostituire i bambini con le statue); al culmine della vara si trova la statua del Cristo che regge e porge con la sua mano destra “l’Alma Mater” (a volte indicata come “Alma Maria”) ("l'Alma Mater" è soggetta a diverse interpretazioni, secondo alcuni significa “Madre che nutre” riferendosi al Figlio, per altri significa “Vergine”, secondo altri “Madre nascosta e segreta”) all’Empireo (per Dante l’Empireo era il decimo cielo che racchiudeva tutto l’universo, era la sede di Dio, al di la del quale non esisteva nulla, quasi a coincidere con la teoria di Einstein secondo la quale l’universo ha un volume finito ma non ha limiti). La vara, trainata dai devoti tramite due grosse gomene, inizialmente camminava su ruote, queste furono successivamente sostituite da due grossi pattini, inizialmente in legno, poi in acciaio, quindi la vara procede per trascinamento, ed è per questo che le autobotti precedono la processione bagnando continuamente l’asfalto, per consentirne lo scivolamento.
Ho fotografato la teca con dentro la piccola e dolcissima statua della “Madonna dormiente”: nel 1950 papa Pio XII proclamò il dogma secondo il quale «La Vergine Maria, completato il corso della sua vita terrena, fu assunta alla gloria celeste in anima e corpo»,
questo dogma non specifica se l’Assunzione di Maria sia stata preceduta da un sonno profondo o dalla morte naturale (il termine “Dormitio Virginis” è ambivalente, può riferirsi sia al sonno che alla morte naturale). Ho fotografato “i due sindaci” di Messina, l’attuale sindaco di Taormina, Cateno De Luca leader del partito politico di ispirazione autonomista e meridionalista "Sud chiama Nord" ed ex sindaco di Messina dal 2018 fino al 2022 in quel momento da poco sostituito dall’attuale sindaco di Messina, Federico Basile, al loro arrivo negli attimi concitati che precedevano “la partenza” della vara. Ho fotografato molti devoti “tiratori” della vara, per ragioni “narrative” ne pubblicherò solo alcuni, li ringrazio (come ringrazio tutti gli altri che non pubblico).
post scriptum: con la seconda, terza e quarta foto ho partecipato alla prima edizione 2022 del concorso fotografico denominato “la Vara di Messina”, promosso dall'associazione culturale “Messina Sacra”, la terza foto (col titolo "resta con noi") ha ricevuto una menzione speciale.
